Hi ASR, I ordered a pair of Kef r3 new from their site for a good price $1399. However, UPS tore the side of the box and caused some minor cosmetic wear. Would you keep or return them? This isn't the first time I've had speakers arrive like this, I suspect it's because UPS is using a crane...

Hi everyone, I’ve had my F226Be for some time and love them, but I want to give them to my parents as a retirement gift. I’m trying to decide which I should pick up to replace them. I have two excellent subs (Rythmik F18) and my SHD for room correction, so I’m leaning towards an open box Kef...

Up for sale is an excellent condition Benchmark DAC3B and Topping A90. Both have been in a smoke-free home since day 1. Only selling as I have reduced my headphone inventory down quite a bit, so I no longer need these two products. I mostly use my speakers lately, which have their own DAC and...

Up for sale is a beautiful pair of Revel M105 in Walnut. Less than three months old, these beautiful speakers are only for sale because I upgraded to Revel's F226Be. I'm the original owner, and my M105s have been inside a smoke-free home since day 1. Excellent condition, other than some dust...

Up for sale is an excellent condition RME ADI-2-DAC FS, smoke-free home. The DAC is less than two months old, but I'm outside the return window. One of the best DACs ever, but I lately I use my Benchmark DAC3 or MiniDSP SHD more often, don't want to see this DAC just collect dust. Listing...

Up for sale is an excellent condition Benchmark AHB2, smoke-free home. The amp is less than a month old, but I'm outside the return window. It is the best measuring amp I've ever owned, but I find myself using my NAD more often due to it's higher power output. Listing Includes: AHB2, Power...

Up for sale is a mint Gustard X18 DAC in silver color. Less than three months old, still under warranty with Aoshida-HiFi. Only selling because I own more than one DAC at this point, and I'd rather sell off the gear I'm not using. Listing includes: Gustard X18, original box, power cord, usb...

Up for sale is a new S.M.S.L SU-9n. I purchased my first SU-9n in November 2021, but the unit started making a hissing sound that wouldn't go away no matter what I tried. After informing Apos Audio they RMA'd and replaced the unit with a new SU-9n. I have not used this SU-9n, it is brand new...

Recently my SMSL SU9N has started making this awful static noise. It doesn't matter if I use my NC252 or a headphone amp, as long as it's on XLR it makes that awful noise. -Tried different power cord -Tried with and without UPS/surge protector -Tried different interconnects -Tried using both...

I ordered a pair of mint Kef R5 but Fedex decided otherwise and dented them. How significant would the dent to the Uni-q driver impact sound?

I can get a pair of any of these pretty similar in price, but really not sure which to go for. I like neutral sound, have a SVS sub already. This pair will be used with my desktop completely near field, typically 0.5-1 meter from wall, and myself about that close to them if not more. Thanks, Tom.

Anybody else experience this issue? I notice it with my Magni Heresy and with my Beyer A20 headphone amps. It's even more noticeable with my Schiit Vidar and Magnepan speakers. I thought it was my Beyer A20 at first, then realized the hum was gone when I used my Topping D90 with it. Problem is...

I'm curious what is the opposite of this site? I love the science here and measurements, but what is the opposite that likes distortion and thinks it sounds "musical audiofool blah blah"? Maybe head-fi? I've seen them recommend trash (audio-gd) products before. Thanks, Tom.

All of them seem to cost around $1200-$1600. Any benefits on one of the other? How about the cheaper NC500? Looking to power my Magnepan 1.7i, heard they like a lot of current. Also considering saving for AHB2, but the $3000 price seems too rich for me. Thanks, Tom.

Anyone have measurements of the A21+? Amir's superb review of the AHB2 is great, and I have fond memories of the Benchmark DAC1, so as a company I'm leaning that way. Only thing that concerns me is the fact that I'm a POS that seems to like noise. I'm not loving the D90, I think I'd rather...

I ordered a Audiophonics MPA-S250NC (Hypex NC252), but when it arrived I noticed whether the power switch was on or off, the unit still powered on and played music. Had a loud audible hum as well. Thought nothing of it, until I went to move it from my office to my listening room and it shocked...

Hi, After reading some threads it seems there is a real risk of buying something that is poorly soldered, wired, grounding off etc, so I was wondering if anyone can tell me if these look ok? Seller wants $1800 and I think it's worth it for Class AB, great measurements, and large power output...

I've been looking at March's P122 (NC122MP) and Audiophonics NC122MP amps. The price difference is insane, $652.80+$80 shipping total of $732.80, vs $416 USD (307.50 euros + 41 euros for shipping). I have to ask, will the Audiophonics version measure that much worse? P122 beat out the NC500...
